been busy but doing okay...finally slept the other day and had a really hard time yesterday getting outta bed...thanks a lot depression...but finally answered my phone and accepted my mom's offer to come help me get things together.  As hard as it was to accept her help I knew it was the only way things were going to get done...so I did what I could while waiting for her to arrive and then we packed up everything (all Christmas stuff and my usual things I pack...computer and laundry) and loaded it in the car.  Drove to my parents house...unloaded the car, had a quick bite to eat and rushed off to Christmas eve service at my parents church.  My friend came, who comes every year and brought her son (he's I think 18 months old)...was so great to see them.  Then rushed home and mom helped me get all the wrapping done.  She just flies through it like a pro...and does so well at it.  Maybe someday I will be able to too...i had a hard time just keeping up with writting on the tags...lol.  Anyway, she truly was an amazing help.  Then off to bed and woke up this morning around 9am...and opened stockings and gifts.  Then got ready to head to my sisters for family gathering and more gifts.  Having major issues with asthma...I hate allergies to the 3 dogs, 2 cats, and wood burning stove...plus if I am carrying on and laughing the asthma gets worse.  So glad I got my ventolin back now that I'm not on the manerix anymore.  Was a waste of money to get the atrovent...but didn't know at the time the manerix wouldn't be the right med...so had to be safe.  Anyway...overall it's been an okay day.  Not much problems with the depression or anxiety except for a little.  Still not feeling my usual self but today went better then I expected in terms of overall mood.  One more day of family chaos tomorrow and then will need to do laundry on the 27th and hopefully finish it that day so I can head home the 28th or 29th at the latest.  I love my parents but I don't want to be stuck here much longer then that.
